If a real email message gets accidentally marked as spam, you can remove it from the spam folder by opening the message and clicking the 'Not spam' button in the top menu bar. Click the Mail menu, then click Spam Folder. Keep going back until you see the list titled 'Mailboxes.' That list includes the spam folder. Then you can delete all the selected messages at once.

You can save a little time by first selecting all of the spam messages with the 'Select' button in the top menu bar. However, if you want to delete them yourself, simply select the message(s) and click the 'Delete Forever' button in the top menu bar. If everything in the spam folder is actually spam, you can leave it alone and Gmail will delete the messages automatically in 30 days. Simply click on the folder titled 'Spam' on the left side of your Gmail screen to open your spam folder.

If you get an email in your inbox that is actually spam, you need to click the 'Report Spam' button (looks like an exclamation mark inside a stop sign) in the top toolbar to move that message into your spam folder and to help teach Gmail to treat such messages as spam in the future.Įvery few days you should check your spam folder to make sure no important email messages have accidentally been identified as spam.
